Pancakes (by Ellen Brody)

Ingredients:

1 egg

3/4 cup milk

2 tbsp margarine or butter, melted

1 cup flour

1 tbsp sugar

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

1. 1 Beat egg until fluffy.
2. 2 Add milk and melted margarine.
3. 3 Add dry ingredients and mix well.
4. 4 Heat a heavy griddle or fry pan which is greased with a little butter on a paper towel.
5. 5 The pan is hot enough when a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls which 'dance' around the pan.
6. 6 Pour a small amount of batter (approx 1/4 cup) into pan and tip to spread out or spread with spoon.
7. 7 When bubbles appear on surface and begin to break, turn over and cook the other side.

Options: add blueberries or banana and walnuts before flipping to the other side. You may also substitute 3/4 cup milk for 1/2 c milk and 1/4 cup orange juice for a citrusy pancake

Note:

• When recipes call for milk, always try to use whole milk as much as possible for a richer flavor.
• Once opened, baking powder only has a shelf life of three months. Thus, it is best to buy this in sachet packs.
